Salsa



This salsa can be made without measuring cups and spoons. Salsa can be made as spicy as you would like. You can use only the veggies you like. It only takes 5 minutes to make. Salsa can be low in fat and high in vitamins and can be put on everything from eggs to celery. So here goes.










Nutritional Value of Tomatoes



Salsa




You will need a food processor or a food chopper that I have.


Put in the food chopper 2 cans of tomatoes with green chillies after draining off excess fluid or without if you don't want it too spicy. Then cut up half a pepper what ever color you like.  It can be more than half if you would like. On top add cilantro as much as you would like. This recipe will be trial and error till you find the combination of veggies and salt that you like.






Chop until you are at the consistency you like.




I usually taste at this point to see if it needs more salt or cilantro.   What is nice about homemade Salsa is that if you need to watch your salt intake you can add just a little or no salt and it still will taste great.  The salsa is done at this point and ready to eat. You will need to refrigerate any leftovers.  It will keep for up to a week.  You will never go back to store bought again because it is so easy to make.



Enjoy this salsa recipe and add diner life to your favorites.

Taco Cups

Taco cups make dinner easy.  It is only a few of your favorite ingredients and bake.  Great for lunch or dinner.  I use won ton wrappers because they have fewer carbohydrates than a taco hard or soft shell.

Ok here we go.

Taco cups



Spray a muffin tin with non stick spray any kind will work.  Form in the muffin tin won ton wraps.  Fill with all taco ingredients you like.

 In my taco cups I use ground beef, black beans, black olives, tomatoes, and cheese on top but any of these can be substituted with your favorite taco ingredients.

If meat is not for you use black beans and re-fried beans. It usually depends on what I have in the house.  These can be made with leftover so just be creative.  I love cheese so I will use more cheese that anything else but if dairy is not for you just use the ingredients you like.

You will bake on 350 for about 20 minutes until won ton is crispy.   The taco cups will bake at different times depending on your oven so just keep an eye on it until you have made a batch.

Let cool and top with lettuce, tomatoes, sour cream and salsa.  My salsa recipe is on the blog too, just search salsa.  Refrigerate any left overs for lunch the next day.




Enjoy

Tomato Pie



This is a wonderful old fashion recipe lost because of the box era. If it can't be made out of a box we don't like to tackle it. This recipe is easy to follow and I will just write it out.
Easy as Pie.

 

 

Tomato pie

Fit a refrigerator pizza crust in a greased pie plate. I use a pizza crust because it is so absorbent and can take the extra fluid from the tomatoes. Cook following directions on package until toasty brown and crispy.  While the crust is cooking you can fry 6 slices of bacon (ok fry the whole package you will need some for snacking).

Slice about 6 large tomatoes and let them sit for at least 20 minutes patting the extra fluid away. Salt and pepper to taste.

When the pie crust comes out of the oven season and cover bottom with mozzarella cheese. Let the cheese melt.

The next level after the mozzarella cheese is a layer of tomatoes then season with whatever you like (basil, Italian seasoning, oregano etc.). Then slice an onion and put half on top of the tomatoes. Crumble up the bacon and put half on top of the onions. Sprinkle a few tablespoons of flour over the tomatoes and onion.

Then a layer of mozzarella cheese starts the process again.

Tomatoes, onions, flour and bacon on top of that with more mozzarella cheese on top.

Last topping is the crusty stuff.

Mix together 2 Cup of cheddar cheese with 1/2 cup of miracle whip or mayonnaise, and 1/2 cup of sour cream.

Top the pie with the mixture of cheese and mayo.

Put in the oven and back on 375 for about 40 minutes. Top crust should be a little brown and crispy.

Enjoy
